Police are appealing for witnesses to a fatal shooting in Pembroke hours ago.

A spokesman said officers received a report of possible gunshots in the area of Spruce Lane at about 10pm.

He added: “Officers were dispatched to the location and confirmed that shots had been fired into a nearby residence. An unresponsive victim was located at the residence.”

He added: “We would particularly like to hear from anyone in those areas who may have Ring or other CCTV cameras.

“We are asking that you check your devices to see whether they may have recorded any images of suspicious individuals or unusual activity as this could assist with the investigation into this matter.”
